Arthur, upon entering the tavern you see around you a definite work-in-progress. While it is clean you can see the evidence of ongoing work here and there. At a table you see an elder gentleman drinking tea, while a kobold scarfs down a plate of food.
Upon seeing you all enter he says "Ah, Miss Cloud and Mister Herald how was the mission?" He reaches for a glass jar, unscrews the lid and places it on the table.
"Arthur, this is........ and ......... . One is our steward and the other cleans up for us. By the way, if you see him do something disgusting, feel free to correct him.....
It was a drow. He got away by jumping across gaps between buildings that were just too far for me to handle. A roof running assassin. Unknown affiliation, but I did get a good look at him up close."
Hello and well met ..... & ......., I am Arthur Darkeyes the 3rd. I come to Waterdeep from Baulders Gate . Arthur gives a courtesy. Y'all were fighting a drow in the dark?
"Well, yes. It seems he has been going around at night assassinating other elves for reasons unknown to us. The job was given to some of our other members somehow. I was asked to participate so I said ok. It was quite a surprise to see another non drunk wandering the streets at this time of night though..."
If this drow is assassinating other elves I'm thinking a elf in the area has something he wants . ( drinks some ale ) what other information have you gathered on this drow ?
The kobold angrily takes his ale glass from Arthur's hand "That's Snarf's ale, work all day for that I did!" He turns towards the bar "LIF!!! The new guy trying to steal my Ale!"
About this time a platter with 3 glasses of ale comes floating around the bar. At the table it stops in front of Arthur, then moves over to Cloud and a glass places itself in front of her, in front of Herald to place one in front of him, then pauses before returning to Arthur to place an ale in front of him.
The elder gentleman introduces himself " I am Mr Russell, the Majordomo for Trollskull Manor,his is Snarf one of our recent hires for the tavern side of things. You'll have to excuse his brash outbursts. He was hired to be paid with lodging and food, and they forgot to provide the food"
My apologies lil' fella . I didn't know I had your ale in my hand from way over here, that's a mean stretch i have i guess . I'll get you something tomorrow. Hello Mr Russell, pleasure to meet you. I'm Arthur Darkeyes the 3rd. I guess that's why I spotted him holding a empty jar. I thought it was for tips, but at the time I'd not asked for ale lol
Mr. Russell says "That's just my Whisper Jar, part of my job as Loremonger for the franchise here. It helps me record data on our various jobs"
"Now if you'll excuse us, it's late and we're going to turn in for the night"
"We are?" Snarf says
"Yes, still a lot of work to be done if we're to be ready for the Trolltide holiday in 5 days"
Snarf grabs his plate in one hand, other hand placing his ale in the crook of that same arm, and reaches for the candle. Pauses and looks at everyone, then leaves the candle and follows Mr Russell outside.
Ooc: idk why but the " we can figure out anything else tomorrow " didn't appear , so a bit of recall . " alright all , it is rather late . I'll see you all in the morning after I've prayed "
Captain Staget waves as y'all depart "Keep the blood off the streets, okay?"
Waves back , utters a quick prayer to Tyr for the capt and his men's safety then leaves with the tabaxi archer
Despite the late hour, there are lights on in the tavern when you return.
Awesome. I guess we shall enter
Yup, must enter anyway. Who knows what our steward is up to... not to mention our kobold cleaner.

Leaving the 3 of you alone in the tavern.
"Come on arthur. You can use my bed for tonight. We can figure out anything else tomorrow. Cloud knows where she can sleep."
I will take arthur around to the stairs, a how him the rather unused bed before climbing the ladder to my pile of pillows.
So Harold , b4 we all go to sleep, what were you wanting to discuss with me?
Ooc: idk why but the " we can figure out anything else tomorrow " didn't appear , so a bit of recall . " alright all , it is rather late . I'll see you all in the morning after I've prayed "
